[QUOTE="Hawkman, post: 3059201, member: 29933"] I suppose a relevant question is how frequently do bad guys who have a firearm while committing a crime (let's say larceny or burglary) actually shoot people? Doubtless, the majority of criminals who possess firearms during a crime don't use them. I'd be curious to see a meta analysis (correct phrase?) of crimes where the bad guy was confronted (forced to make a decision to fight or give up) and what the probability of each outcome was. Also would be curious to see if an armed citizen or LEO would be more likely to illicit a "give up" response. IMO, if I see someone committing a crime with a firearm, I assume they intent to use it as more than a prop shall we say. Obviously, the more information you can gather quickly in such a situation, the higher chance you'll have of seeing the big picture and making the correct choice. [/QUOTE]
